There are equivalents in Oz, they're just hard to find. I'll start a new thread if this is too off-topic, but will using a current converter affect the G-100's warranty at all?

The simple plug converter in only for dual voltage devices like shavers and hair dryers, and yes the AC frequency will definately alter the motor speed. Will it blow, well that's another question
